IPL 2026: Rain Delays Start Of Match 13 Between Rajasthan Royals And Mumbai Indians

Assam Cricket Association: The start of Rajasthan Royals' clash with Mumbai Indians has been delayed because of rain, which lashed the city for around three hours since early afternoon, forcing the ground staff to deploy the heavy covers at the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) Stadium in Barsapara in Guwahati on Tuesday.

Top 5 Youngsters Who Stole The Spotlight In IPL 2026 So Far

The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has so far belonged to a fearless new generation of cricketers who have made an immediate impact with bat, ball and in the field. In just the first 11 matches of the season, several young stars have stepped into the spotlight, underlining the leagues growing reputation as a platform where emerging talent thrives under pressure. Among the standout performers are Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Sameer Rizvi, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Prince Yadav and Harsh Dubey, all of whom have played crucial roles for their respective franchises with performances that are ahead of their age and experience. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: The teenage sensation from Bihar has continued his meteoric rise after impressing in age-group and domestic cricket. Carrying his form from recent international youth tournaments into the IPL, he has amassed 252 runs in just seven matches at a staggering strike rate of over 200. His campaign in IPL 2026 began with a blistering 15-ball half-century against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), followed by another explosive innings against Gujarat Titans, setting the tone for the Rajasthan Royals strong start. Sameer Rizvi: Rizvi, who first made headlines in the UP T20 League, has scripted a remarkable comeback after a quiet stint in IPL 2024. Picked up by Delhi Capitals (DC) in the mega auction, the middle-order batter has seized his opportunities this season with back-to-back match-winning performances under pressure. Despite not being a regular starter initially, his consistency has now cemented his place in the playing XI. He scored 70 runs against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the team's first match and then played a match winning 90 runs knock against the Mumbai Indians. Angkrish Raghuvanshi: For Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Raghuvanshi has emerged as a bright spark in an otherwise mixed start to the season. The Mumbai youngster has impressed with successive half-centuries at the top of the order and has also taken on wicketkeeping responsibilities, highlighting the team managements confidence in his all-round abilities. Despite not being a regular starter initially, his consistency has now cemented his place in the playing XI. He scored 70 runs against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the team's first match and then played a match winning 90 runs knock against the Mumbai Indians.

Top 5 Fearless Prodigies of TATA IPL 2026: Suryavanshi, Rizvi Shine Early

In the opening 11 games of TATA IPL 2026, the Fearless Prodigies have stamped their authority with the bat, ball, and in the field. Be it Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Sameer Rizvi, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Prince Yadav, or Harsh Dubey, these youngsters have risen to the occasion in crunch moments, playing with a boldness that belies their age. We take a look at the top 5 Fearless Prodigies who have stolen the limelight in the tournament and beautifully validated the leagues evolving narrative, where the next generation isnt waiting for its turn; it is already taking centre stage. Vaibhav Suryavanshi His age and exploits over the last 12 months in age-group cricket, domestic cricket and the TATA IPL precede his name and reputation. The wonderkid from Bihar has taken the cricketing world by storm and, after success in the Rising Stars Asia Cup and the Under-19 World Cup, has carried that form into TATA IPL 2026, picking up from where he left off last season. He scored 252 runs in just seven games, striking at over 200 and registering the second-fastest century of the tournament. Suryavanshi began this season with a thunderous 15-ball half-century against CSK and followed it up with another quickfire knock against GT, helping RR get off to a strong start. Sameer Rizvi The UP big-hitter first grabbed attention in the UP T20 League a couple of years ago, prompting CSK to invest INR 8.4 crore in him at the TATA IPL 2024 auction. After a disappointing season and subsequent release, his resurgence began when DC picked him up at the mega auction. A stylish middle-order batter, Rizvi had limited opportunities last season but signed off TATA IPL 2025 with a half-century. Following an average Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he was not an automatic starter this season, but has now forced his way into the XI with back-to-back match-winning knocks under pressure. Angkrish Raghuvanshi Taking on wicketkeeping duties has ensured the Mumbai youngster a place in KKRs line-up for TATA IPL 2026. While KKR have had a challenging start, Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been a standout performer with back-to-back half-centuries at the top of the order, earning a promotion in the second game ahead of Cameron Green. Being entrusted with the gloves signals the franchises long-term faith in him, and at 21, Raghuvanshi has shown that he can shoulder responsibility while adapting his game to different match situations. Prince Yadav One of the many products of Indias state-run leagues, Prince Yadav was picked by LSG in the TATA IPL 2025 mega auction after impressing with his pace and consistency in line and length. With much of LSGs pace attack sidelined due to injuries, opportunities came his way, albeit limited, but he showed enough promise. Even with the return of Mohammed Shami and both Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan regaining fitness, his inclusion in the XI raised a few eyebrows, but he has repaid the managements faith with crucial strikes in games against DC and SRH. He is now emerging as a key component of the attack, capable of delivering across phases. Harsh Dubey Also Read: Live Cricket Score The Ranji Trophy star for Vidarbha has taken to IPL cricket like a fish to water for SRH. The bowling all-rounder has been trusted by Captain Ishan Kishan to operate in the Powerplay, where he has not only controlled the run flow but also picked up key wickets, including Finn Allen against KKR. Dubey has relied on his traditional lines and lengths, while mixing his pace cleverly to outfox batters. Not just with the ball, the record holder for most wickets in a Ranji Trophy season has also chipped in with handy contributions down the order with the bat, striking a couple of boundaries at Eden Gardens to push SRH past the 225 mark.
